Elesa+Ganter BT.16-SST-M5 Fluted Knob
The Elesa+Ganter BT.16-SST-M5 fluted knob is a compact hand knob developed for industrial fastening and adjustment points where a stainless steel threaded boss and a durable technopolymer body are preferred. In many machine assemblies, this kind of knob supports quick manual positioning while keeping the overall design small and efficient.
Designed for Small but Demanding Assemblies
With a 16 mm diameter and M5 blind threaded hole, this version offers more fastening capacity than smaller thread options while staying within the same compact knob family. That makes it attractive for applications where installers want a small manual control component without stepping up to a larger diameter part.
